Get-MailboxImportRequest

This cmdlet is available in on-premises Exchange and in the cloud-based service. Some parameters and settings may be exclusive to one environment or the other.
Use the Get-MailboxImportRequest cmdlet to view the detailed status of an ongoing import request that was initiated using the New-MailboxImportRequest cmdlet.
This cmdlet is available only in the Mailbox Import Export role, and by default, that role isn't assigned to a role group. To use this cmdlet, you need to add the Mailbox Import Export role to a role group (for example, to the Organization Management role group). For more information, see the "Add a role to a role group" section in Manage role groups (https://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj657480.aspx).
For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax (https://technet.microsoft.com/library/bb123552.aspx).

Get-MailboxImportRequest -Status InProgress -Database DB01

In Exchange Server 2010, this example returns the status of in progress import requests for mailboxes or archives that reside on database DB01.

The Database parameter specifies the database in which the user's mailbox or archive resides. You can use the following values:

GUID of the database

Database name

You can't use this parameter in conjunction with the Identity parameter.

-DomainController

This parameter is available only in on-premises Exchange.

The DomainController parameter specifies the domain controller that's used by this cmdlet to read data from or write data to Active Directory. You identify the domain controller by its fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For example, dc01.contoso.com.

-HighPriority

This parameter is available only in on-premises Exchange.

The HighPriority parameter filters the results based on the Priority value that was assigned when the request was created. Valid input for this parameter is $true or $false. Here's how these values filter the results:

$true Returns requests that were created with the Priority value High, Higher, Highest or Emergency.

$false Returns requests that were created with the Priority value Normal, Low, Lower or Lowest.

The Identity parameter specifies the identity of the import request. By default, import requests are named <alias>\MailboxImportX (where X = 0-9). If you specify a name for the import request, use the following syntax: <alias>\<name>. Microsoft Exchange automatically precedes the request with the mailbox's alias.

The Name parameter specifies that import requests that have the specified name are returned.

Use this parameter to search on the name that you provided when you created the import request. If you didn't specify a name when the request was created, the default name is MailboxImportX (where X = 0-9).

The RequestQueue parameter identifies the request based on the mailbox database where the request is being run. You can use any value that uniquely identifies the database. For example:

Database GUID

Database name

You can't use this parameter with the Identity parameter.

Type:

DatabaseIdParameter

Position:

Named

Default value:

None

Accept pipeline input:

False

The ResultSize parameter specifies the maximum number of results to return. If you want to return all requests that match the query, use unlimited for the value of this parameter. The default value is 1000.
